ACC Scoring Nightmares

You’d expect to see Virginia crop up repeatedly on a list of low scoring outcomes in ACC games over the past decade.

Sure enough Virginia, which led the conference in scoring defense every year since 2012, used its clamp-down style to win nearly half of the games between 2011 and 2020 in which an ACC team scored no more than a point per minute (40).

Impressively, four of those offensive stinkers were inflicted by Virginia as an ungracious guest on someone else’s court.

Twenty-one ACC squads failed to pass the 40-point mark in the decade. Ten were against UVa.
